how does a 2006 353 perform on rough water
hi after you guys helped me out and get me out of buying an old 382 and renew it i am seriously thinking about getting a 2006 353 with 496 hos and since it is gonna be in mediterrenian how well does this boat perform on rough waters?
thanks |
A friend uses one on Lake Erie, we think it does great for what the boat size is, Lake Erie can be brutal so i guess that is good!!

Not as good as a 382...

The 353 is a good performer but the 382 being bigger will ride a little better. I'm told (since I haven't had a 353) that the353 has more of a sports car feel where the 382 is more like a big luxury car.
If you are looking at late model 353's please look hard at Nelems.com Robert Nelems is a great resource for anyone looking at buying a new or used Formula and he has several new and used 353's in stock. |

Nice boats for sure, but the cabin is too tight for me. |

I strongly agree... Robert is one of the best honest dealers you will ever deal with. (Period) |
353 is a great lake boat and can handle running offshore in moderate seas. I am not familiar with the Mediteranian but if it gets very rough, you might want to consider going up to the 382.

I think it will be very underpowered with 496HO's.
